The Polish National Police, working in close cooperation with its law enforcement counterparts in Croatia, Germany, Romania and Sweden, alongside Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), have smashed a Polish organised crime network suspected of online payment scams and money laundering.
 
                                     


 
The action days for Operation MOTO on 29-31 May 2017 resulted in 9 arrests including the criminal network’s masterminds, as well as 25 house searches in Poland.
 
The perpetrators were advertising online cars as well as construction or agricultural machinery/vehicles, but never delivered the advertised goods to interested buyers, despite having received advance fee payments.
